what kind of temps are you getting running prime or intel burn test ?

Sorry. Idle is around 30-33, 100% load on all 4 cores runs at around 44 max.

have you tried just upping the multiplier to 15 ?
cool n quiet may stop working but your temps seem fine and that would give you 3855mhz, you may need to slightly up the voltage if it's not stable but i think phenom II's are fine upto 1.45 vcore.

The stock multiplier for the 955 is 16, so you could also it that a try. Jump up the CPU voltages too, but I would say 1.5v is the max.

Well, have booted it at 15x multi so 3855Mhz, ran modded superpi at 18.236 (was 19.4 when at 3.6Ghz), currently running Prime95 blend for an hour or so, Vid still at 1.35v, Cores at 43.5 degrees.
